Your Rights as a Customer

PLEASE READ: THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR RIGHTS AS A CUSTOMER
This document summarizes Your Rights as a Customer and is based on customer protection rules adopted by the Public Utility
Commission of Texas (PUCT). You may view the PUCT’s complete set of electric rules at http://www.puc.state.tx.us/agency/
rulesnlaws/subrules/electric/Electric.aspx.
1. Cancelling Service
Unauthorized Change of Service Provider or “Slamming”: A REP must obtain your verifiable authorization before switching your
electric service. If you believe your electric service has been switched without your authorization, you should ask the REP to provide
you with a copy of your authorization and verification. The REP must submit this to you within 5 business days of your request.
You may also file a complaint with the PUCT. Upon receipt of a complaint filed with the PUCT, the REP must take all actions within
its control to facilitate your prompt return to your original REP and cease any collections activities related to the switch until the
complaint has been resolved by the PUCT. If the PUCT determines your electric service was switched without authorization, the REP
must cancel all unpaid charges. The REP must pay all charges associated with returning you to your original REP within 5 business
days of your request, and refund to you any amount paid in excess of the charges that would have been imposed by your original
REP within 30 days of your request.

Cancellation of Service: You may cancel your agreement with your chosen REP without any penalty or fee if:
 You request cancellation within 3 federal business days after you have signed the Application for Service and received your
Terms of Service;
 You move to another premise and no longer have responsibility for electric service at the premise where service was being
provided;
 Market conditions change and the agreement allows your REP to terminate the agreement without penalty in response to such
changes; or
 You receive a notice from your REP of a material change in the context of this Agreement and you notify your REP of your request
for cancellation within 14 days of the date the notice is sent to you. Notice will not be issued for material changes that benefit you
or changes that are mandated by a regulatory agency.
If you request cancellation for a reason other than those listed above, exit fees will apply. To cancel your service during the cancellation
period, please use the notice of cancellation form or call your chosen REP’s phone number above. For details on cancellation after
the cancellation window has ended and on exit fees, please call your REP’s phone number above.
2. Billing
Unauthorized Charges or “Cramming”: Before new charges appear on your bill, your REP must inform you of the product or
service, all associated charges, and how these charges will be billed and obtain your consent to purchase the product or service. If
you believe your bill includes unauthorized charges, you may contact your REP to dispute the charges and file a complaint with the
PUCT. Your REP will not terminate your service or file an unfavorable credit report against you for nonpayment of disputed charges,
unless the dispute is resolved against you. If the charges are unauthorized, Your REP will cease charging you for the unauthorized
service or product, remove the unauthorized charge from your bill, and refund or credit all money you paid for any unauthorized
charge within 45 business days. If charges are not refunded or credited within three billing cycles, interest shall be paid to you on the
amount of any unauthorized charge until it is refunded or credited, calculated at an annual rate established by the PUCT. You may
request all billing records under your REP’s control related to any unauthorized charge within 15 days after the date the unauthorized
charge is removed from your bill. Your REP will not re-bill you for any charges determined to be unauthorized.
Payment Arrangement/Plan: If you cannot pay your bill, please call your REP immediately. Your REP will inform you of available
TX_JE_YRAC_ENG_V04_AUG_15_23
resources to help those in need. A REP must offer level payment plans to customers who are not currently delinquent in payment.
Your REP may offer you a Payment Arrangement that allows you to pay your bill after your due date, but before your next bill is
due. Additionally, your REP may offer you a Deferred Payment Plan, which allows you to pay an outstanding bill in installments that
extend beyond the due date of your next bill. Deferred Payment Plans must be offered (unless the customer previously defaulted or is
already on a Deferred or Level Payment Plan) during summer months (July – September) and winter months (January – February) or
during extreme weather emergencies to the following residential customers: (a) Critical Care/Chronic Condition (b) those expressing
an inability to pay as long as they have not been disconnected in the last 12 months, submitted more than 2 insufficient payments
during the last 12 months or received service for less than 3 months and lack of sufficient credit/payment history (c) whose bill
includes charges from previous under-billings. Your REP may require an initial payment of no more than 50% of the amount past
due with the rest payable in equal installments over at least five billing cycles, unless you agree to fewer installments. A Deferred
Payment Plan may include a 5% charge for late payment. If you do not fulfill the terms of the Payment Arrangement or Deferred
Payment Plan, Your REP may disconnect your service for nonpayment. For details on payment plans, please see your Terms of
Service or contact your REP. Your Rep has partnered with local agencies to distribute funds donated by our other customers, to help
those in need. Bill payment assistance may also be available by dialing 211, or by visiting www.211.org. This service is an excellent
resource of information about local assistance available and services.
Special Services: If you have a physical disability or require special assistance regarding your electric account, please contact your
REP to inquire about the process to become qualified for any special services that may be available to you.
Critical Care Residential Customer or Chronic Condition Residential Customer: You have the right to apply for Critical Care
Residential Customer or Chronic Condition Residential Customer designation. Upon your request, your REP will provide you with
the Application for Chronic Condition or Critical Care Residential Customer Status form. Your local TDU/TDSP will review your
application and determine eligibility. Your local TDU/TDSP shall mail a renewal notice before the expiration of your designation. A
Critical Care Residential Customer or Chronic Condition Residential Customer designation pursuant to this section does not relieve
a customer of the obligation to pay the REP for services provided.
A Critical Care Residential Customer is a residential customer who has a person permanently residing in his or her home who has
been diagnosed by a physician as being dependent upon an electric-powered medical device to sustain life. A Chronic Condition
Residential Customer is a residential customer who has a person permanently residing in his or her home who has been diagnosed
by a physician as having a serious medical condition that requires an electric-powered medical device or electric heating or cooling
to prevent the impairment of a major life function through a significant deterioration or exacerbation of the person’s medical condition.
Financial and Energy Assistance and Discounts: Your REP must offer bill payment assistance to customers who express an inability
to pay or need assistance with bill payment. An electric customer who receives food stamps, Medicaid, Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families (TANF) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (THHSC),
or whose household income is not more than 150% of the federal poverty guidelines may qualify for energy assistance from the
Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA).
Meter Testing: You have the right to request a meter test once every four years at no cost. Your REP can submit your request to
your utility electronically. If you ask to have your meter tested more than once every four years, and the meter is determined to be
functioning properly, then you may be charged a fee for the additional test(s) at the rate approved for your utility. Your utility will advise
you of the test results, including the test date, testing person and, if applicable, the removal date of the meter. You have the right to
be instructed on how to read your meter.
3. Service, Disconnection and Restoration
Disconnection of Service: If your payment for electric service is not received by the due date on your bill, Your REP will mail you a
separate disconnection notice. The disconnection notice will explain that your service may be disconnected. The disconnection date
will be no less than 10 (21 days for critical and chronic care) days from the date the notice is issued and may not fall on a holiday
or weekend. If, prior to the disconnection date, payment is received or satisfactory payment arrangements are made, your REP will
continue to serve you under the terms and conditions of service in effect prior to issuance of the disconnection notice. Your REP
cannot disconnect your service for any of the following reasons:
1. Failure to pay for electric service by a previous occupant of the premise if that occupant is not of the same household;
2. Failure to pay any charge unrelated to electric service;
3. Failure to pay a different type or class of electric service not included on the account’s bill when service was initiated;
4. Failure to pay underbilled charges that occurred more than six months in the past (except where related to theft of service);
5. Failure to pay disputed charges until your REP or the PUCT determines accuracy of the charges and you have been notified of
this determination;
6. Failure to pay an estimated bill unless the estimated bill is part of a pre-approved meter-reading program or in the event your utility
is unable to read the meter due to circumstances beyond its control; or
7. Failure to pay during an extreme weather emergency, during which deferred payment plans will be made available.
Just Energy may not disconnect your service if it receives notification by the disconnection date that an energy assistance provider
will make sufficient payment on your account.
Availability of Provider of Last Resort: If your electric service is terminated, you may obtain services from another REP or the
Provider of Last Resort (POLR). The POLR offers a standard retail service package. Information about the POLR and other REPs

TX_JE_YRAC_ENG_V04_AUG_15_23
can be obtained by calling 1.866.PWR.4.TEX or by visiting www.powertochoose.com.
Disconnection of Service: The PUCT has provided that under certain dangerous circumstances (such as unsafe electric line
situations) any REP, including the POLR, may authorize your utility to disconnect your electric service without prior notice to you.
Additionally, your REP may seek to have your electric service disconnected for any of the reasons listed below:
● Failure to pay a bill for electric service owed to your REP or to make a deferred payment arrangement by the disconnection date
set out in the disconnection notice;
● Failure to comply with the terms of a deferred payment agreement made with your REP or the POLR;
● Using service in a manner that interferes with the service of others or the operation of nonstandard equipment;
● Failure to pay a deposit required by your REP or the POLR; or
● Failure of the guarantor to pay the amount guaranteed when your REP or the POLR has a written agreement, signed by the
guarantor, which allows for the disconnection of the guarantor’s service.
Prior to disconnecting your service, your REP or the POLR must provide you a disconnection notice. This notice must be mailed to
you separately no earlier than the first day after the date your bill is due. The disconnection date must be no earlier than 10 days from
the date the notice is issued and may not fall on a holiday or weekend or the day preceding unless personnel are available to take
payments and service can be reconnected. Your REP or the POLR may not seek to have your electric service disconnected by your
utility for any of the reasons listed under the Disconnection of Service portion of this document. Additionally, your REP or the POLR
may not disconnect your electric service:
● For non-payment during an extreme weather emergency and must offer you a deferred payment plan for bills due during the
emergency; or
● For non-payment if you inform your REP or the POLR, prior to the disconnection date stated on the notice, that a permanent
resident on the premises has a critical or chronic need for electric service. However, to obtain this exemption, you must enter into
a deferred payment plan with your REP or the POLR and have the ill-person’s attending physician contact your REP or the POLR
and submit a written statement attesting to the necessity of electric service to support life or prevent a significant deterioration of
condition. This exemption from disconnection due to critical care shall be in effect for 63 days and may be applied for again after
the 63 days has expired and the deferred payment plan has been fulfilled.
Restoration of Service: If your service has been disconnected for non-payment, your REP will, upon satisfactory correction of the
reasons for the disconnection, notify your utility to reconnect your service. Your REP will continue to serve you under the terms and
conditions of service in effect prior to issuance of the disconnection notice. If your service was disconnected due to a dangerous
situation, your service will be reconnected once you notify your REP or the POLR that disconnected it that you have corrected and
satisfactorily resolved the dangerous situation.
4. Disputes
Complaint Resolution: Please contact your REP if you have specific comments, questions or complaints. You may submit a complaint
in person, by letter, facsimile, e-mail or telephone to your REP. Upon receipt of a complaint, your REP is required to investigate and
notify you of the results within 21 days. If you are dissatisfied with the results of our investigation, you may request a supervisory
review. Your REP must advise you of the results of the supervisory review within 10 business days of your request. If you are
dissatisfied with the results of the investigation or supervisory review, you may file a complaint with the PUCT at: P.O. Box 13326,
Austin, Texas, 78711-3326; telephone 512.936.7120 or in Texas (toll-free) 888.782.8477; fax 512.936.7003; e-mail customer@ puc.
state.tx.us; website address www.puc.state.tx.us; TTY 512.936.7136; Relay Texas (toll-free) 800.735.2989 or with the Office of the
Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division. For a complaint involving a disputed bill, your REP may not initiate collection or
termination activities or report the delinquency to a credit reporting agency with respect to the disputed portion of the bill. However,
after appropriate notice, your REP may send a termination notice for non-payment of any undisputed portion of the bill.
5. Other Protections
Do Not Call List: The PUCT will maintain a “Do Not Call List” of customers who do not want to receive telemarketing calls for electric
service. Customers may sign up for the list for a nominal fee. Please contact the PUCT to be placed on the Do Not Call List. Call
toll-free 1-888-309-0600, visit www.texasnocall.com, or mail your request to Texas No Call, 100 Summer Street Suite 800, Boston,
MA 02110. You may contact your REP for further details.
Language Availability: You may request to receive information from your REP in Spanish or English. Your REP does not market
in any other language. This includes the Application for Service and Terms of Service, Your Rights as a Customer, the Electricity
Facts Label, bills and bill notices, termination and disconnection notices, information on new electric services, discount programs,
promotions, and access to customer assistance. Privacy Rights: REPs are prohibited from disclosing or selling confidential customer
information, including your: name; address; account number and ESI ID(s); type or classification of service; historical electricity
usage; expected patterns of use; current charges or billing records; and the types of facilities used in providing your service; and the
individual terms, conditions and price of your agreement. This prohibition does not apply to the release of your information under
certain circumstances as required by law, including release of your information to the PUCT, any agent of your REP, credit reporting
agencies, law enforcement agencies or your utility. Your information will be shared with other REPs or aggregators only with your
consent.

años sin costo alguno. Su REP puede enviar su solicitud a su empresa de servicios públicos electrónicamente. Si solicita que se
pruebe su medidor más de una vez cada cuatro años, y se determina que el medidor funciona correctamente, es posible que se le
cobre una tarifa por las pruebas adicionales a la tarifa aprobada para su empresa de servicios públicos. Su empresa de servicios
públicos le informará sobre los resultados de la prueba, incluida la fecha de la prueba, la persona que realizó la prueba y, si
corresponde, la fecha de retiro del medidor. Tiene derecho a recibir instrucciones sobre cómo leer su medidor.
3. Servicio, Desconexión y Restauración
Desconexión del Servicio: si su pago por el servicio eléctrico no se recibe antes de la fecha de vencimiento que figura en
su factura, su REP le enviará por correo un aviso de desconexión por separado. El aviso de desconexión explicará que su
servicio puede ser desconectado. La fecha de desconexión no será inferior a 10 (21 días para cuidados críticos y crónicos) a partir
de la fecha de emisión del aviso y no podrá ser un día feriado o fin de semana. Si, antes de la fecha de desconexión, se recibe el
pago o se hacen arreglos de pago satisfactorios, su REP continuará sirviéndole bajo los términos y condiciones de servicio vigentes
antes de la emisión del aviso de desconexión. Su REP no puede desconectar su servicio por ninguna de las siguientes razones:
1. La falta de pago del servicio eléctrico por parte de un ocupante anterior del inmueble si ese ocupante no es del mismo hogar;
2. Falta de pago de cualquier cargo no relacionado con el servicio eléctrico;
3. Falta de pago de un tipo o clase diferente de servicio eléctrico no incluido en la factura de la cuenta cuando se inició el servicio;
4. Falta de pago de cargos subfacturados que ocurrieron hace más de seis meses (excepto cuando estén relacionados con el
robo del servicio);
5. Falta de pago de los cargos en disputa hasta que su REP o la PUCT determinen la exactitud de los cargos y usted haya
sido notificado de esta determinación;
6. Falta de pago de una factura estimada a menos que la factura estimada sea parte de un programa de lectura de medidor
pre-aprobado o en el caso de que su empresa de servicios públicos no pueda leer el medidor debido a circunstancias fuera
de su control; o
7. Falta de pago durante una emergencia climática extrema, durante la cual se pondrán a disposición planes de pago diferido.
Es posible que Just Energy no desconecte su servicio si recibe una notificación antes de la fecha de desconexión de que
un proveedor de asistencia de energía realizará un pago suficiente en su cuenta.
Disponibilidad del Proveedor de Último Recurso: Si se cancela su servicio eléctrico, puede obtener servicios de otro REP o
de un Proveedor de Último Recurso (POLR). El POLR ofrece un paquete de servicio minorista estándar. Puede obtener
información sobre POLR y otros REP llamando al 1.866.PWR.4.TEX o visitando www.powertochoose.com.
Desconexión del Servicio: La PUCT ha dispuesto que bajo ciertas circunstancias peligrosas (como situaciones de líneas
eléctricas inseguras) cualquier REP, incluido el POLR, puede autorizar a su empresa de servicios públicos a desconectar
su servicio eléctrico sin previo aviso. Además, su REP puede solicitar que se desconecte su servicio eléctrico por cualquiera de
los motivos enumerados a continuación:
• No pagar una factura por el servicio eléctrico adeudado a su REP o no hacer un arreglo de pago diferido antes de la fecha
de desconexión establecida en el aviso de desconexión;
• Incumplimiento de los términos de un acuerdo de pago diferido realizado con su REP o el POLR;
• Usar el servicio de una manera que interfiera con el servicio de otros o la operación de equipos no estándar;
• Falta de pago de un depósito requerido por su REP o el POLR; o
• Incumplimiento del garante en el pago del monto garantizado cuando su REP o el POLR tiene un acuerdo escrito, firmado
por el garante, que permite la desconexión del servicio del garante.
Antes de desconectar su servicio, su REP o el POLR deben proporcionarle un aviso de desconexión. Este aviso debe enviarse
por correo por separado no antes del primer día después de la fecha de vencimiento de su factura. La fecha de desconexión
no debe ser anterior a 10 días a partir de la fecha de emisión del aviso y no puede caer en un feriado o fin de semana o el día
anterior, a menos que haya personal disponible para recibir pagos y el servicio pueda reconectarse. Su REP o el POLR no pueden
solicitar que su empresa de servicios públicos desconecte su servicio eléctrico por ninguna de las razones enumeradas en la
sección Desconexión del Servicio de este documento. Además, su REP o el POLR no pueden desconectar su servicio eléctrico:
• Por falta de pago durante una emergencia climática extrema y debe ofrecerle un plan de pago diferido para las facturas
adeudadas durante la emergencia; o
• Por falta de pago si informa a su REP o al POLR, antes de la fecha de desconexión indicada en el aviso, que un
residente permanente en las instalaciones tiene una necesidad crítica o crónica de servicio eléctrico. Sin embargo,
para obtener esta exención, debe entrar en un plan de pago diferido con su REP o el POLR y hacer que el médico
tratante de la persona enferma se comunique con su REP o el POLR y presente una declaración por escrito que
certifique la necesidad del servicio eléctrico para sustentar la vida, o prevenir un deterioro significativo de la condición.
Esta exención de desconexión por cuidados críticos tendrá una vigencia de 63 días y podrá solicitarse nuevamente una vez
transcurridos los 63 días y cumplido el plan de pago diferido.
Restablecimiento del Servicio: si su servicio ha sido desconectado por falta de pago, su REP, luego de corregir
satisfactoriamente los motivos de la desconexión, notificará a su empresa de servicios públicos para que vuelva a conectar
su servicio. Su REP continuará sirviéndole bajo los términos y condiciones de servicio vigentes antes de la emisión del aviso
de desconexión. Si su servicio fue desconectado debido a una situación peligrosa, su servicio será reconectado una vez que
notifique a su REP o al POLR que lo desconectó que ha corregido y resuelto satisfactoriamente la situación peligrosa.
